what I do is post the menu on the front of my fridge and either right before I make dinner or right before I go to bed I look at the menu for the next day and defrost appropriately. I also make my menu on Thurs for the next week so I buy the stuff for thurs-wed dinners at the same time as shabbos shopping, usually that means only one trip a week to the kosher store unless I forget something.
My dinner menu this week:
Sunday: Leftovers
Monday: DH got takeout, I'll make salmon patties with romaine lettuce salad
Tuesday: Chili
Wednesday: Chicken-tomato rollups, rice, sweet potatoes
Thursday: Salmon, spaghetti squash and tomato sauch
S: sesame chicken, steamed rice, cut veggies
M: lentil burgers and all the fixins, corn salad
T: baked ziti, Caesar cheese salad, ice cream
W: unstuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes, garden salad
T: smoked turkey salad, warm crusty baguettes
ra_mom, can you please post your lentil burger recipe?
I've tried them before and wasn't a big fan, but I'm willing to try again if I can use a recipe of yours ;-)

I use greeneye's recipe http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....nners
Layer your burger bun with paper thin slices of red onion, pickle, burger and ketchup.
Really good.

Here's an easy, TOTALLY AMAZING recipe for roast chicken in crockpot- it comes out like a fresh rotisserie chicken:
One whole chicken(cleaned) or 2 smaller ones or cornish hens, if your crockpot is large
Make 5 balls out of foil and place on bottom of crockpot. Place chicken(s) on top. The trick is that the chicken shouldnt touch the bottom, and the fat drains off, so instead of the chicken stewing, it is roasting. Spray chicken with olive oil spray. Spice as desired (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder are really all it needs because the chicken comes out so moist). And here's the important part: cook on HIGH ONLY, AT LEAST 6 hours, Ive done it even 9 hrs, and it was fine. The chicken literally comes out like a fresh rotisserie chicken that has been grilled to perfection.
(I've also heard that instead of foil balls, u can peel potatoes and cover with foil, and prop the chicken on those.
Tues: Bubbie Shirley's cheese kugel (that's what the cookbook calls it) - A sweet noodle cheese kugel and salad
That's it - I'll know Wed by 7 PM Wed
Wed: Eggplant lasagne, salad, canned corn

Enjoy having your sisters around! What fun - it is so nice when family visits from overseas!
